Can a figure carrying an object have his SS outwitted so he drops the object?

Can a flying fig based by 2 opposing grounded figs use range against combat reflexes?

Yes but only by an opposing figure. You cannot use Outwit on any member of your force.

Flying figures can ALWAYS make a ranged attack unless the figures that they can attack are using stealth. It makes no difference what type or how many enemy or friendly figs they are based with.

It's worth pointing out though, that though they can always make ranged attacks, if they are based by opponents, they can only make those ranged attacks against those based opponents, no one else.

can a giant perplex up his 0 range and attack a fig 3 squares away in close combat?

No. Range is irrelevant in a close combat attack. He could perplex his range up to 3 via 3 perplexes and make a ranged attack 3 squares away though.

1) No. This is specifically mentioned in the new PAC. Super Strength can not be cancelled while a figure is carrying an object.

2) Yes.

I'm not entirely sure you're right there. Can you please post the exact wording as I don'thave a PAC handy.

This is true, but trivial. You must keep in mind that cancelled and countered are two separate things. You cannot turn off your own super strength while carrying an object, but your opponent can counter it with outwit, regardless of whether you are carrying an object or not. Super Strength does not include mini-fortitude as a free bonus.

You've been unable to cancel Super Strength (while holding an object) since at least Universe, probably before. There is, however, nothing to stop it from being countered.

Also just to note about fliers shooting into close combat, they must have line of fire to do so.

XE

F = Flier
X = figure
E = Enemy

For example, F would not be able to shoot at E since the two X figures would block line of fire to E.

Likewise as people have mentioned above, having Stealth and being on hindering would still keep you from being shot at as well.

Yes, I stand corrected.
I noted the wording difference (cancelled as opposed to countered), but gave it no other thought.
